Attention Keyboardists: It's time to dust off those keyboard bass chops and release your inner Jaco, Flea, Jamie, Tony - you name it - as Orange Tree Samples has announced its first World Bass Star Competition.

Just record your best demo featuring one or more of Orange Tree Samples' bass libraries and send it to them to enter. All musical genres are welcome. The winner will be determined by popular vote at the Orange Tree Samples Forum at KVRAudio.com and announced on May 1st, 2009.

The first place winner will receive a copy of Orange Tree Samples' upcoming "Iconic Bass: Jaco" fretless bass sample library and one additional Orange Tree Samples library and have his/her demo featured at OrangeTreeSamples.com. Second and third place winners will also receive sample libraries. Even more, everyone who enters the competition will receive a "special prize".

Entries must be submitted by April 25th, 2009.
